You can keep speaking from text. I can tell you from 20 years of real experience. While you parse words there are real people, following orders, that if they didn’t would jeopardize the way of life you have the privilege to live.

It’s called sacrifice. There are millions of veterans who willing signed the dotted line knowing the consquences.

You obviously have a problem with it. I wouldn’t recommend military service for you. Your attitude would get people killed. Don’t take it as an insult military service isn’t for everyone.

I do recommend watching some videos on YouTube about Paris Island. It may open your eyes.

Is it incorrect?
Please show where and how.

Ah, so now you claim that life is a privilege; the Declaration of Independence would say otherwise.
(How long until you argue that the "privilege of life" can be revoked arbitrarily by the government?)

I have no problem with sacrifice — I do have a problem with both false claims to authority and the willingness to discard the supreme law of the land (the Constitution) in favor of tradition and/or judicial fiat.

BTW, I already put my time in, so take your condescending assumptions elsewhere.
